Hiking
The Cobbler is an 884 metres mountain located near the head of Loch Long in Argyll and Bute, Scotland. It is a Corbett, and is an important site for rock climbing in the Southern Highlands. Many maps include the name Ben Arthur, but the name The Cobbler is more widely used.
Great Hike! quite steep, a bit challenging. My favourite in the area. Drive to Arrochar and park in the car park on the left just on the head of the loch.

Knockderry House is a truly Scottish country house hotel on the banks of one of Scotland's lochs, Loch Long. A warm welcome awaits your stay in Scotland.
Great 4* hotel about a mile from the flat. Also a nice walk along the shore road from the flat.
Really nice to sit by the fireplaces in the drawing room and enjoy a wine or whisky etc.
If you wanna eat its ESSENTIAL to call ahead a few days and check if they have availability. The have a 2 rosette kitchen and the food is great.
PS. I used to manage the bar there

Pubs and local eateries
Local pub on the peninsula. Good fish and chips. Really nice to walk there along the shore road, checking out the many stony beaches on your way.
There's also a frequent local bus service if you dont feel like walking back
